46-year-old Stan Crunk and 45-year-old James Castile were pulled over during a traffic stop late last month. A police dog detected drugs in their vehicle and police found more than 200 grams of meth, along with thousands of dollars in cash.

The force was able to get a search warrant for Castile’s home where they found more drugs as well as information about a storage unit in his name.

Around 2:00 a.m. Saturday police say 22-year-old Brady Reiff approached a parked U of I patrol car and attempted to open the vehicle’s passenger door.

He reportedly asked the officer for a ride home, and Reiff told the cop, quote, "he thought that was our job."

Reiff's blood alcohol content was .204--more than two-and-a-half times the legal limit. Reiff, a starting defensive tackle for the Hawkeyes, was arrested for public intoxication and has been suspended for the team's season opener on September 1st. [Cedar Rapids Gazette]
